The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Man, fuck the "GAMES ARE ART! IF THEY ARE NOT, THEN THEY MUST BECOME IT!!1!" shit, it forced dozens of awful games with a chip on their shoulders upon the gamers.
There's nothing to prove, games are primarily entertainment, art comes later.
Theres only a decent handful of games that actually hit on all cylinders (that handful can be however big you're wanting) with being entertaining, good game play, and amazing art. One recent one I can think of that does would be Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and the blind forest. Though that games story is hit or miss if it gets you or not.

But games need to be fun first and foremost, everything else comes after that is done.

But in the famous words of Cuckman for TLOU2

I really don't know what to say about the dogs thing... other than it's nicked from World War Z in which dog handlers are used as scouts with cameras on to sniff out and make note of hoards, one person bonds to their dog so much when she tries to go to them and the US military stops her, she shoots them and flees to save her pooch.

They hang her, of course, as they have to make an example but they then change it to allowing the handlers to go, even if there's clearly no hope of saving them.


I mean, its obvious this game is just abject, total misery porn through and through.

Its just Cuckmans abuse and torture fantasy of lesbian couples, and dog owners. Mushroom zombies? What zombies? Theres maybe a whole 3 you see the entire game.

What the fuck is wrong with you Druckmann

I bet whomever wrote this was masterbating furiously while writing this. This is sociopathic level of 'immersion' that no one wants to deal with as, let's ask ouselves, "What does this add to the gaming experience?"

Does it make you feel "bad" for shooting a dog? Are you supposed to "care" that some rando will cry that lil Lassie was 12 gauged into pudding after attacking you? Does this add to the "realism" of the game?

There answer for me, and you can do you, is "No". I know this is a gimmick where you can shoot the dog, draw out the owner, kill them too. Great, a trap, not like we haven't had that in other games where the enemy sees their friend dead and wants to patrol around (Batman Arkham games did it the best). Great, let it happen, don't fucking put it on your FAQ/box art and then draw attention to it while writing it up as a slashfic cause your lil cat fifi got eaten by a pitbull.


So they went the Kingsman route I see.

Holy fucking shit, check under the floorboards of this lunatic's home. Who thinks this is a neat game mechanic, let alone write it like this? What is wrong with these humans?

I know a majority of gamers are able to discern reality from fiction - yeah, it's just code - but I believe a lot of gamers would rather have man's best friend fighting alongside them (Dogmeat from Fallout 3, your Mabari hound from Dragon Age I) rather than killing them because that's not a fun time. I don't play a lot of survival horror, but the only times I remember having to kill animals was in Resident Evil and that was because they turned into zombies, too.

Oh right, Where are the goddamn fungus zombies, faggots!?

...These people truly don't know what emotional attachment is, jesus Christ...

and it's not like killing dogs is some kind of new or groundbreaking idea. cod modern warfare did it like 13 years ago already, when the player was attacked by a pack of feral dogs in pripyat, and if you don't shoot or melee them to death they rip out your throat and you die.

but this whole paragraph they wrote about it just comes off like they have a weird obsession with making the player sad and unhappy. is this supposed to be some kind of "really makes you think" or "wow that's deep" moment? because i really don't get it.

„You‘re going to buy the game, because I say so. I AM Joel, you bigot. Accept the character I play gets unnecessarily killed off and accept Abbys feminine penis.“

He's why I heald off on Catharine Full Body for a minute until I knew there was a Japanese option because I am just sick of hearing his one note range. He's the Leonardo DiCaprio of voice acting.

Vincent? Baker's voice.

Ocelot? Baker's voice but southern twang.

James Sunderland? Dude got out acted by a complete nobody in the original dub.
 
Obvious and boring take, but it's funny how they preach tolerance and acceptance for everyone, but they have names they use to dismiss entire groups of people they don't know.

I'm fine with them calling people they don't like chuds, but I wish they had a bit more self awareness and didn't act like it's only ok when they call people names.

This dog killing thing vaguely reminds me of the time lolcow YandereDev implemented a feature in Yandere Simulator that would let you murder kittens, the reason for this feature being that it would let you mask the smell of recently buried corpses from the police dogs (lol how) but it was presented as more of a shock tactic to make players feel like shit and ultimately served nothing to the greater scheme of the game other than to be edgy.

Neil shares a lot of the same qualities with YanDev in ideas/writing terms, except Neil will actually release his miserable edgy fetish simulator.
 
Okay everyone! Time for yet another stupid pun book!
  • Abby's like a tiger in the woods: So well hidden, nobody can spot the pussy.
  • What did the naughty dogs say when visiting a Chinatown? "Welp! Looks like this really is the last of us!"
  • Neil Duckmann was asked what's the purpose of such gratuitous violence? There was no response, he just kept on beating the meat.
Okay, that's it for now! Whistles...

Hey remember how in Resident Evil 4 you could actually patch up a limping dog early on, and because you saved it, he can come back to help you in fights, insta-kill incredibly tough zombies for you, and the doggo'll still live to tell the tale?

Remember how, even in a raunchy supposedly incredibly edgy game series like Postal, you could befriend doggos by giving them dog treats, and you can make them hunt down and kill others for you, up to and including literal hellhounds that can ravage Paradise through sheer numbers, brutal strength, and via infectious diseases? How half the plot of those games is trying to get your dog Champ back? How in Paradise Lost due to shenanigans, your dog ends up being revered as a god called El Perro Loco?

For a non-game example: ...do I even need to mention John Wick?

What does Neil do with dogs here: you shoot them because they're noisy, and because killing them makes the cultists sad.

Groundbreaking.

He's probably thinking 'people liked killing animals in RDR2, let's put it in this game too!'

Even PETA said that hunting in RDR was fine because historical needs. Neil didn't get that.

It's very telling he's only doing it for edgy reasons. I honestly bet that if people just mocked and laughed at him, it would probably hurt most of all, since that's usually what pisses off edgelords.

He probably also could get arrested for what's on his HD too I reckon. Wouldn't be shocked if he has snuff films with animals and other horrid things on it.
 
If games are art they deserve to be torn apart by Red letter Media, but Mike won't come out of his Shame Hovel until the Plinkett Star Trek review is done.

No this I doubt because there's companies out there that will send crime scene stuff out upon request. And I mean murdered bodies and actual police photos.

How do you think all those True Crime shows get made? They contract out to companies like these because law enforcement sometimes can't or are unable to send everything so private archives exist.
